Operational Update on Anchois-3 Drilling Offshore
Morocco
Chariot Limited (AIM: CHAR),
the Africa focused transitional energy group, provides an
update regarding the Anchois-3 well currently being drilled at the
Anchois gas project in the Lixus Offshore licence, offshore Morocco
(Energean 45%, Operator, Chariot 30%, ONHYM 25%).
Chariot confirms that operations in
respect of the Anchois-3 well are ongoing.
·
Main Hole ("Anchois-3ST") operations are under way
as per the operational plan. Preliminary interpretation indicates
the presence of gas bearing reservoirs in the B sands, being an
appraisal objective of the well and further detailed work will be
needed to understand the impact of these results. Drilling
operations continue to evaluate deeper appraisal and exploration
objectives.
·
The primary objective of the initial Pilot Hole
was to evaluate the upside exploration potential of reservoirs in
the Anchois Footwall prospect, which were found but are interpreted
to be water bearing. This hole was plugged and abandoned prior to
sidetracking and drilling the Main Hole.
·
Further updates will be provided as
appropriate.
